U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia

A federal trial (district) court in the Eleventh Circuit. 3 active judges and 1 on senior status (semi-retired, still hearing some cases), per the Federal Judicial Center.

No left–right score is calculated for lower-court judges. The appointing president is shown instead (a common, but rough, signal).

Decision data not available here. CourtListener, the main free source of court opinions, requires an account API key for automated access, so this site does not collect lower-court opinions. You can search CourtListener for this court's opinions yourself (external site).
